Hi Chris. Would you please remove the baleen and toothed whale characteristics images. Those are taken from the American Cetacean Society website: http://www.acsonline.org/factpack/whlparts.html |

The illustrations are created by me. Thanks in advance. Uko Gorter, Natural History Illustrations. |
Revision as of 16:33, 2 June 2008
Shark Electroreceptors
Hi Chris, I want to use your picture of the electroreceptors of a shark for an article in "physics today". It sounds like I have permission, but wanted to ask anyway. Also, I have a few questions. The red lines are the lateral line system, right? Are the red dots the openings to the canals, or the actual ampullae inside the animal? Are the grey lines the canals? My email is sjohnsen@duke.edu if you want to contact me that way. Thanks so much!

Diver size
Hi Chris, how big is the diver in the whale and shark diagrams? (e.g. meters across). I'd like to use the image elsewhere (e.g. tuna). —Pengo 03:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I got the drawings from a book, which doesn't really say how tall it is, but i have had a look at some of the smaller species of dolphin to compare and it looks like it would be about 1.7m or so. I would imagine it would be about the average height for a human. Sorry i couldn't be any more help. Chris_huhtalk 12:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Whaling and wiki
Its a bit odd that an article on whaling is not wikied to whales, even odder that someone would go out of their way to remove it once added without explaination. I have repaired this, if you have a good reason for removing it then please state it. Russeasby 19:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- It is odd that it didn't link to whale, but i didn't remove the link, i just changed it to a better wiki-format. [[Whale|whales]] links to the same as [[whale]]s but with fewer characters so is a more accepted way of formatting. If a wiki-link is followed immediately by another letter (or letters) then it will still go to the page in the link but the link itself will be the full word, see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(links)#Form.Chris_huhtalk 20:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Killer whale FPC
Hello. A Featured Picture Candidate you commented on, Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Killer whale mother and calf, is now in the section for "Older nominations requiring additional input from voters." Contributors have tried to improve it after you commented, and your opinion is welcome as to which, if any, of the available versions deserves promotion.

Image of Ocean basin
On 20 March 2007 you placed a new image, Image:Oceanic basin.svg in Commons. Somehow this resulted in the deletion of the older Image:Ocean basin.png image that was in use on a number articles, including Oceanic basin. Unfortunately your new image does not display. I suspect that the file is too big to properly thumbnail. Do you know what can be done to remedy this? --Bejnar 16:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I was looking at that the other day, i have no idea why it doesn't show up. I will ask around and see why it might be. Chris_huhtalk 10:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was recently browsing through user and user talk pages and found yours. The image in particular is a beautiful image, and I was wondering if you would let me use the same layout on my talk page. If you do give me permission, please reply on my talk page ASAP. ~Spebi 06:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Fauna of Scotland
Dear Chris huh, thank-you for your recent edits to this article. I confess I am not sure what the change in reference style achieves, but you are clearly a dedicated and punctillious editor. However there is one error that crops up several times - SNH is Scottish Natural Heritage, not Scottish National Heritage. I will attempt to fix this in due course if you are unable to do so. Ben MacDui (Talk) 08:47, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Woops, must have misread that the first time. I have changed them all now (at least i think i got them all). The only reason i moved them to using the citation templates is that a few were already using it so it is usually best to either have them all use it or not, and then at least they are all in the same style and format. Thanks for letting me know. Chris_huhtalk 12:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 00:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Range of Pacific sleeper shark
See Talk:Pacific_sleeper_shark#Range of the shark, is Image:Somniosus_pacificus_distmap.png correct or have I missunderstood where the pacific is or??? :-) Think you must have misslabeled that picture?? But not sure which shark it could be? I remove the link for now, but please correct me if Im wrong. Thanks. --Stefan talk 13:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- There could be a few errors, looking at fishbase (species) there does seem to be some. Since i made so many maps i may have not been accurate enough. I got the map from the book Compagno, Leonard; Dando, Marc & Fowler, Sarah (2005). Sharks of the World. Collins Field Guides. ISBN 0-00-713610-2 which i don't have with me at the moment so i can't check if i just missed something. I can edit the map to have fishbases range on it too, or just leave it until i get the book again.
I have also left this message on my commons user talk where graham bould contacted me (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Chris_huh#Pacific_sleeper_shark). Chris_huhtalk 14:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Featured Picture Candidate
I just nominated the Cetaceans image you created in FPC. Thought you might want to know. Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Cetaceans Nnfolz (talk) 02:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Chris, I just took a look at the Cetaceans drawing, and have a few ideas. The reason the line weights can't be changed easily in this drawing is that, in svg terms, they are not really lines at all! The way it is drawn now, the "lines" are really a fill shape that looks like a line rather than being a true line (called a stroke), thus you can't easily change line weight. I would suggest redrawing them by hand with real strokes rather than fills that look like strokes. Were these vectored by an auto trace? Auto trace cannot draw a line as a stroke. Redrawing will also make it easier to add body color. At any rate, I would suggest retaining the transparent background, but definitely use color for the bodies. The layout looks pretty good, but there is a big chunk of white space at the bottom, so perhaps re-arranging them will give a more uniform look. Also, the guys in the upper left corner face out when they should probably face inwards.
- Here's a generic one just to get the idea: Image:Flipper.svg. One could also use gradients to give a more realistic look to the colors. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Sharktrlogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sharktrlogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

My shameless ripoff
Hi Chris. I have shamelessly copied your great background image and the code that goes with it to my own user page. Do you mind? --Geronimo20 (talk) 22:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Template:Cetacea taxonomy
A tag has been placed on Template:Cetacea taxonomy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

copyright infringement
Hi Chris. Would you please remove the baleen and toothed whale characteristics images. Those are taken from the American Cetacean Society website: http://www.acsonline.org/factpack/whlparts.html The illustrations are created by me. Thanks in advance. Uko Gorter, Natural History Illustrations.
